This Weekend: Brunch Begins at Buccan

After having garnered a substantial dinner following—not to mention a position in must-eat-there chitchat about Palm Beach restaurants—Buccan begins Sunday brunch service this weekend with live musical entertainment.

Clay Conley—a notable chef and an appreciator of regional and native cuisines, whether from his native Maine or Asia—hasn’t finalized the brunch menu, but items one can expect include jumbo shrimp and grits with aged cheddar, sherry and red peppers, and buttermilk-fried chicken with black-pepper gravy and mashed potatoes.

Also anticipated: ham and egg pizza with fontina and asparagus; butternut-squash beignets; and eggs Benedict with roasted heirloom tomatoes and bacon.

In addition to brunch items, selections from Buccan’s dinner menu will be offered, such as tuna tartare.
